Chapter 72: Sleepless Spiritual Light and Lessons

Wu Pifu was a bit frightened.

Because he practiced National Martial Arts, not some magic. This... this was already beyond the scope of National Martial Arts, right!?

At this moment, Wu Pifu felt that he had a second set of perception, based on the perception emitted by this cluster of spiritual light.

Around the current 6123 area, there was a dense pink cluster, a sticky blood-colored cluster, a pitch-black gas cluster, and some messy things, all of which were vaguely perceived by this spiritual light.

Suddenly, Wu Pifu came back to his senses and shouted loudly, "Mainframe, what is this!?"

"Judging... judgment finished, Sleepless Spiritual Light."

"Wu Pifu practiced the Tiger Demon Art to the theoretical limit, finally turning the Sleepless Spiritual Consciousness into Sleepless Spiritual Light."

Wu Pifu said blankly, "What?"

Unfortunately, the Mainframe did not send any more information.

Wu Pifu immediately said, "Mainframe, expand my personalized information interface!"

"Wu Pifu, Human, Pure-blood."

"Level Two Maintenance Personnel, Low-level Employee."

"Physical Body Rank Three Initial (Potential +1) (Muscle Strength 2.1, Gene Strength 1.4, Nerve Reaction Speed 2.0, Hematopoietic Immune Function 2.8, Self-healing Ability 2.8), Soul Rank Two (Death Return), Inspiration Rank Two (Weirdness Perception 2.4+0.4=2.8, Barrier-breaking Perception 1.5+0.3=1.8)."

"National Martial Arts: Hua Jin (72.8%) -> Hua Jin (77.1%), Tiger Demon Art: Peak Perfection (97.61%) -> Supreme Manifest Saint (0.01%) (Obtained inherent Manifest Saint attribute: Sleepless Spiritual Light)."

"Human Immortal Martial Dao: Skin Tempering Great Completion (93.7%), Flesh Tempering (4.42%), Green Python Molting Art: Supernatural (62.8%)."

"Virtual Personality, can absorb self-fragments to condense into truth, consciousness sea negative backlash rate seven percent, consciousness sea negative total???."

"Brand: Buddha Realm Attraction Rate four percent (from Buddha Mud), Vacuum Hometown Attraction Rate eleven percent (from Unborn Mother's gaze)."

Wu Pifu quickly finished reading his personalized information panel, finding that the Weirdness Perception and Barrier-breaking Perception in the Inspiration Rank Two expansion item had improved significantly, and then the Hua Jin progress improvement was within expectations. The real qualitative change was the change in the Supreme Manifest Saint rank of the Tiger Demon Art.

Although he had a premonition that there would be some qualitative change when the Tiger Demon Art was practiced to the theoretical rank of Supreme Manifest Saint, he was still shocked when the qualitative change really appeared.

Wu Pifu immediately said, "Mainframe, judge the Tiger Demon Art's inherent Manifest Saint attribute, Sleepless Spiritual Light."

"Inherent Manifest Saint attribute, Sleepless Spiritual Light."

"Once an extraordinary technique is practiced to the theoretical limit, an inherent Manifest Saint attribute will appear. The strength and state of the Manifest Saint attribute are determined by the degree of fit with the practitioner."

"Sleepless Spiritual Light, evolved from Sleepless Spiritual Consciousness, turns from virtual to real, possessing the ability to see through falsehood, resist corrosion, distortion, twisting, and many other external damages, and possesses powerful purification functions for existences with low pollution sources."

Wu Pifu confirmed all the information about the Sleepless Spiritual Light, and then nodded with satisfaction.

There is no doubt that after the Tiger Demon Art reached Supreme Manifest Saint, the Sleepless Spiritual Consciousness evolved into Sleepless Spiritual Light. This point of Sleepless Spiritual Light turned from virtual consciousness to actual existence, which had a bit of the flavor of borrowing the false to cultivate the true. The most critical thing is that its effect is undoubtedly very suitable for Wu Pifu, allowing his load-bearing capacity for mind negative backlash to rise significantly again.

And it's not just about mind negative backlash.

Wu Pifu took the Sleepless Spiritual Light back into his sea of consciousness, and then he practiced a set of boxing techniques in the arena. The process was incomparably smooth. Although the National Martial Arts realm did not improve much, he clearly felt that as the Tiger Demon Art entered Supreme Manifest Saint, his actual combat strength became more than three points stronger.

"And then... Iron Refining Record!"

After Wu Pifu reached Supreme Manifest Saint of the Tiger Demon Art, the second task he had to do was to practice the original Iron Refining Record.

This is a technique from an unknown era, and its content is completely different from the Iron Refining Record practiced by Amida. The three discovered the problem as soon as they designated this technique, but it had already been designated and could not be changed. Finally, Xu Shilan felt that perhaps it was because what was designated was the original Iron Refining Record, and the Iron Refining Record practiced by Amida might have been modified countless times, or even adapted by the Mainframe based on his personal characteristics.

The original Iron Refining Record has seven pages in total, each page is cast from refined iron, with text, human meridian diagrams, technique operation diagrams, and general outline explanations. The Mainframe can accurately translate the text on the original Iron Refining Record, even some metaphors or some underworld slang, all translated into information content that Wu Pifu can understand. This point is not an obstacle. The core reason that truly hinders Wu Pifu from practicing this Iron Refining Record...

Spiritual Qi!

The introductory chapter of the original Iron Refining Record explains how to absorb heaven and earth spiritual Qi through movements, breathing, and hand seals.

The general outline directly states that the Iron Refining Record is a body-refining technique. First, use heaven and earth spiritual Qi to cast the foundation, then absorb the heaven and earth five-metal Qi, and finally combine the heaven and earth five metals into Supreme White Gold, achieving the supreme method of the Iron Refining Record.

This is simply not any martial arts or evil technique, nor is it the method of absorbing metal and replacing flesh practiced by Amida. This is a body-refining technique similar to immortal cultivation!

The seven pages of the original Iron Refining Record: the first page is the introductory chapter, which is the cultivation process of using heaven and earth spiritual Qi to cast the iron-refining furnace in the body. Then the second to sixth pages are the five technique processes of absorbing heaven and earth five metals according to different strengths. The seventh page, which is the last page of the original Iron Refining Record, explains the method of melting the five metals into one, achieving the supreme Supreme White Gold.

According to the description in the book, once you enter the door (first page), the strength of skin, flesh, and bones will be significantly enhanced. By the third metal, you will have the supernatural power of Copper Skin. By the fifth metal, you will have the supernatural power of Iron Bone. By this time, you can already claim to be invulnerable to swords and spears. And when the five metals are combined into one, achieving Supreme White Gold, you can even claim to be able to regrow severed limbs and not die from organ damage!

The five heaven and earth five metals are fine. The general outline in the book has descriptions. The best are naturally those rare treasures-level metals, such as Shou-Mountain Bronze. If not, ordinary gold, silver, copper, and iron are not impossible. It's just that the upper limit of the power after cultivation is far lower than the rare treasures-level metals.

Regarding this, Wu Pifu's logical thinking is the same as Amida's. Can those so-called rare treasures-level metals compare to the various alloys on Gaia now?

Not to mention the ultra-high-strength alloy that makes up Gaia's shell, even the internal decks and various instrument alloys are not something those ancient people could imagine.

So as long as he can enter the door, he can quickly gather the five metals, and then possess the toughness of a Copper Skin and Iron Bone body, which can directly increase his strength by an unknown number of times.

"... Can't feel any spiritual Qi at all!?"

Wu Pifu calmed down and practiced the original Iron Refining Record carefully. According to the movements, breathing rhythm, and hand seals on the first page, he did every item.

With the body control level of National Martial Arts Hua Jin, he could even maintain an awkward movement of standing on one leg and making hand seals with both hands for an hour without moving a bit.

!

But after three consecutive days, let alone showing skills on his personalized information panel, he didn't even perceive the so-called spiritual Qi.

This is not some mysterious thing, but simply doesn't exist!

But Wu Pifu was still unwilling, and because of the lesson of the Peace Hotel, he didn't dare to step into the Northern Song Mud Buddha Yaksha dream world easily, so he continued to persist for four more days, practicing this Iron Refining Record for a full seven days, but still there was no movement at all. He finally died of his heart.

However, this technique was judged by the Mainframe itself, confirming it is an extraordinary technique. It can only be said that without spiritual Qi, it cannot be entered. He also carefully preserved this technique in the medical station and memorized the content of the first page completely, preparing to practice it once when entering every dream world. What if there is so-called spiritual Qi in a certain dream world?

After doing all this, about fifteen days have passed since Wu Pifu woke up, and the Mainframe shows that there are fifty days until the next weekend, and one hundred and sixty-seven days have passed since the last return from the Mud Buddha Yaksha dream world!

Wu Pifu didn't even dare to imagine what the Mud Buddha Yaksha dream world is like now!

Perhaps as soon as he penetrates, he will be besieged by countless terrors, or it is a layout of a great power like the Unborn Mother, intending to drag the entire world to a low baseline reality, or other more terrifying scenarios he has imagined.

But he has to go, because this has always been a huge hidden danger!

After experiencing the Peace Hotel dream world, this experience has had a huge impact on Wu Pifu.

First, he must be cautious and cautious. When he defeated the half-paper person, the Huang Lian was broken into pieces by him. Obviously, the Unborn Mother didn't have the erosion power behind it at that time. If he had carefully and cautiously found all, or at least most, of the Huang Lian fragments at that time, then this tragedy could actually have been avoided.

Then there is the problem of the enemy.

Wu Pifu sat in the sleep chamber room and thought silently, firmly remembering the lessons of this tragedy in his heart.

First, he must clean up the battlefield, and it is the kind of cleaning up that digs three feet deep after every battle!

Second, he must eradicate evil completely. As long as he is hostile, he must completely destroy the other party and their subordinates and forces.

If the hostile party is a high-level existence like the Unborn Mother, then he must either decisively leave the dream world and cut off all causal connections. If he can't do it, he must cut off all her claws and tentacles in the dream world!

Third... haven't thought of the third yet.

Wu Pifu bit his finger and wrote these two lessons on the metal wall of the sleep chamber room with fresh blood. Then he thought about it and wrote the names of Amida and Xu Shilan next to these two paragraphs of text, and at the same time wrote a paragraph of words next to them.

"Departed comrades-in-arms, may I always remember you."

"Then, I'm going to fight."

Wu Pifu reached out and touched the two names, then lay down in the only intact sleep chamber. When Jiu Jiu flew onto his chest, he opened his mouth and said, "Mainframe."

"Return to the Mud Buddha Yaksha dream world."
